Crust aim was our guide and did a very good job explaining the history of the areas we visited. He was very accommodating and we enjoyed the tour. The only part that I wasn’t thrilled about was the amount of driving time. I probably would have gone on a 1 or 2 day tour if I knew how much time we had to spend driving from one place to another.
